Horse gaits are normally categorized into two groups: the "natural" horse gaits that nearly every horse will have without any training, and the "amble," or the "ambling" gaits, which is a collection of several other smooth footfall patterns that may appear naturally in some individuals but which usually occur only in certain horse breeds, and often require special training of the horse before a rider can request them on command.
The analysis of horse gait also addressed a major question of racehorse enthusiasts of Chubb's day: Is a horse going full speed ever entirely off the ground?
